Invited by Emmanuel Macron, Michel Platini refuses to attend the World Cup final in Qatar

According to the information published by Europe 1 on Friday, Michel Platini declined Emmanuel Macron’s invitation to attend the World Cup final on Sunday in Qatar. The former French international does not wish to meet the members of FIFA, whom he considers responsible for a politico-judicial manipulation intended to remove him from power.

After six years of investigation and two weeks of trial, Platini was acquitted by the courts on July 8 in his trial for corruption. This summer, the ex-leader of the Blues launched: “In this case, there are culprits who did not appear during this trial. Let them count on me, we will meet once more. »

Michel Platini suspects in particular the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, without former right-hand man at UEFA from 2007 to 2016.

After the semi-final, Emmanuel Macron will travel to Doha on Sunday for the final.
